Wim Den Boon Furniture
Wim Den Boon was a Dutch designer, interior designer and architect. Boon was a dogmatic man who believed strongly in the transforming capacities of architecture and design. Boon was affected by the architecture of Le Corbusier, De Stijl and Rietveld. Boon studied at the Academy for Visual Arts in The Hague in 1941. In 1945, he founded Groep & together with Hein Stolle and Pierre Kleykam, a group that manifested itself after the war with interiors and design, such as the furniture of the international departure hall of Schiphol in 1948. Den Boon was the editorial secretary of the magazine from 1948–50. Den Boon has written several articles for Goed Wonen, which was the most prominent magazine for interior design in the 1940s and 1950s. His articles are almost strictly educational. Boon's dogmatic character and the austere tone of his articles resulted in too much controversy, which forced him to resign from the magazine in 1950.

Wim den Boon Beech and Rush Low Stool, The Netherlands 1950s
By Wim Den Boon
Located in Utrecht, NL
This modernist design is made of solid beech and rush with an understated, organic look. This style of stool has been beloved for decades and many mid-century designers created their own iteration of it. While Wim den Boon’s present stool is often attributed to Charlotte Perriand, this model is the Dutch designer’s classic.
Wim den Boon was a dogmatic man who believed strongly in the transforming capacities of architecture and design. He was affected by the architecture of Le Corbusier, De Stijl and Rietveld, which is visible in most of his designs, including this low stool. The beech structure is rather simple, featuring four massive legs connected by cross stretchers. The straight lines of the stretchers counterbalance the rounded legs and the raw surface of the rush. The seat has a hand-twisted natural rush seat. The weaving forms four distinct triangles in the seat pattern, with the points of the triangles meeting in the centre. Here, the corners are not wrapped, instead the legs’ top serves as corners accentuating their roundness. The beech has a beautiful patina that complements the rush’s organicity.
Wim den Boon had most of his furniture manufactured by small furniture producers. He was an inspiring and radical designer who made no concessions and remained true to his architectural principles. After all these years, his designs are still topical and that is why we can speak of a strong example of timeless design. This stool is a great example of this, and is a classic and timeless interior item and will be a wonderful addition to every modern home.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. The stool has its original rush seat.
Dimensions:
20.87 in W x 20.87 in D x 16.73 in H
40 cm W x 40 cm D x 28 cm H
About the designer:
Dutch architect Wim den Boon (1912-1968) was born in Waddinxveen, The Netherlands. He was an admirer of Gerrit Rietveld, De Stijl and the functional building of the Delft School. He was inspired by, among others; Alvar Aalto, Eero Saarinen and Le Corbusier.
Wim den Boon formed together with Hein Stolle and Pierre Kleylamp the movement Groep & (1945-1950). They designed furniture, often "custom-made" and had it manufactured by small furniture producers. In 1948 Group & was responsible for the interior of the international departure hall of Schiphol Airport. Den Boon became editor of 'Goed Wonen' magazine in the late 1940s.
He promoted functional design and criticized the traditional interior with all its conventions and prejudices. The best of art and technology had to go together to achieve a better society, following of Dutch arcitect H.P. Berlage’s. After his period at 'Goed Wonen', he founded the foundation 'Mens en Huis' together with Dora Mees and J.W. Jansen. Without commercial ulterior motives...
